He was calling for help when he realized that he had fallen asleep in his ambush. He peered forth to see if he had snared Santa Claus. The figure-4 trap was erect and intact, but empty. He crawled out and ran to the row of stockings he had hung on the mantelpiece as a decoy. The stockings were empty. With a shriek of disappointed rage, Ulie dashed into his parents' room to protest.
Ulie was in bed at the time sleeping like an innocent cherub and smiling in his sleep. He was dreaming of a great invention: he would set a figure-4 trap near his fireplace and snare Santa Claus by the foot.
"Perhaps you think it was one of these whales that swallowed Jonah?" "I never did think so, Benny. But if he did, it was a miracle, sure enough." Davy helped me make a figure-4 trap to catch them. One Saturday morning I met Edmund down at John Buckman's store, trading some butter and eggs for tea and sugar. "Come up to the house, Edmund. I've got a figure-4 trap; and we'll catch some quail."
